(Top) Parameters for primary alert trigger based on PALS guidelines. Please note that this chart represents the normal values, meaning that to add points in the rule logic, values must be less than the minimum or greater than the maximum thresholds seen. (Bottom) BPA triggers when the score is equal to or greater than 32. Please note that the way the rule logic is designed, points can be added for a criteria’s Min OR Max, but never both. However, for heart rate, respiratory rate, and systolic blood pressure, points can be added for (Min OR Max) AND Delta.
